Flag
-
<p>Firstly I like the story of the dawn flag and quite like the simplicity. I think a design like that could grow on people and in a few years become increasingly accepted. But Winger you are blinded by your own opinion. Apart from the Blue in the upper right corner it is all but identical save for slight difference in the geometry of the triangles</p>

<p>Don't mind saying I'll be voting for change. Would vote for anything else, basically (within reason). Did find though that the "Red Peak" design not being so original after all was extremely amusing.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I live in a country that likes to fly their flags, but I wouldn't be caught dead flying a flag that is based on a colonial relic template and is confused constantly with Australia's. It was bad enough living in Ireland for a number of years, and explaining 5 times a day that "no that is a NZ accent".</p>

<p>I think the attached image says it all for me really</p>

<p>Yeah, saw that. Did she choose to put on the flag, or did someone put it on her? I really hope the flag doesn't become an issue for the ABs, someone in victory trying to force the current or any of the new options onto the players. Unless it's the AB flag, in which case work away.</p>

<p>The ABs have their own flag, which is copyrighted.</p>

<p>I don't know why you would take anything from her wearing our current flag. It is our current flag afterall. I don't suppose she organised putting this massive flag behind her at the presentation:</p>

<p>unless she knew she was going to win NQ and was all a cunning plan to show her opinion..maybe she should be censored as well, like the AB's as she may unduly influence peoples opinions!</p>

<p>I've run out of likes , that was gold though. I can't believe anyone would buy a red peak. It'll be something find every now and then stashed somewhere in your house and you'll feel the same way about as you do the photos your mum has of you as a teenager with a mullet.</p>

<p>I make sure when I see pics like that when I'm visiting mates parents house I get a snap and store it away for future use. Here's a good example.</p>

<p>I wouldn't read too much in to it. But I'll do it anyway. She's regularly characterized in international press reports as "South Korean-born New Zealander." I think she's communicating through the flag that she's a Kiwi. Simple as that.</p> -

<p>just change the Anthem to Ka Mate!</p>

<p>I genuinally would prefer they change the anthem first before the flag. We really do have the dreariest versions! God Defend NZ and God save the queen which comes in at a close second</p>

<p>Slice of Heaven. Just to have everyone singing the dah, dah, dah bit.</p>
